Savannah State Tigers nips WSSU

Savannah State University freshman QB Kurvin Curry and the Tigers embarrassed Winston Salem State with a rare road victory.

Blount says Rams not tough

Winston-Salem State dropped into an early-season hole last night after upstart Savannah State held on for a 16-13 victory at Bowman Gray Stadium. The Tigers (2-1) won their second straight game, a feat they hadn't accomplished since 2000, by beating the Rams (0-2) at their own game.

Quarterback Kurvin Curry and running back Justin Babb led a high-speed Spread offense that wore out the Rams' defense when it mattered most, in the second half. "They out-toughed us," Coach Kermit Blount of WSSU said. "We have to be tougher as a team. In football you are going to get those runs and those spurts, but we just have to buckle down and play better football.

"That's what it boils down to."
